Signed Painting of a Pink Flower with Leaves from India, "Floral Dew"

"I'm Nayna Tuli from Gurgaon, India and I was born in 1982. I studied engineering and earned a business degree in technology. I began painting as a hobby and wanted to pursue it professionally.

"Art is a form of meditation for me that gives me so much peace and happiness. It is the best way to express my emotions. I forget everything while painting.

"I love making modern spiritual art. All of my paintings are inspirational, appealing, divine, thought-provoking and unique. I most enjoy painting various forms of Lord Buddha, as I firmly believe in the achieving moksha, or release from the cycle of death and rebirth, as the final goal of life.

"I have also painted some pieces under the guidance of another artist.

"It's been wonderful working on my own. I am inspired by nature and emotions. I love working with oil and acrylic paints, and the way oil colors spread and create a natural effect.

"I hope to become known as an artist and create a name for myself. I feel the best way to find peace in the chaos of daily life can be achieved through painting."

The artist has exhibited her works in the DC ART Gallery in 2015 and again in 2016.
